Damage in Tonga from eruption remains sketchy
（ＮHK Ｗorld Japan, Jan.16から抜粋）
The extent of the damage following the massive volcanic eruption and tsunamis in Tonga is yet to be known. Media reports say internet connectivity with the Southern Pacific nation has been lost.
An underwater volcano around 65 kilometers north of the capital Nuku'alofa erupted Saturday afternoon.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in the US state of Hawaii says tsunamis of up to around 80 centimeters high were observed in Tonga.
The height of tsunamis reached about 1.4 meters in Vanuatu, about 1.1 meters in the French territory of New Caledonia, and some 60 centimeters in the American Samoa. Tsunamis over one-meter high were also observed in Chile in South America.
